THE CONVOCATION. The . readers of history must be fully aware that the ginud and determined object of the Runtish Church vast and Still is, the exercise • of unlimited nower.•• The assump4 tion of the state, the splendour, and all the regalities at= tendant on temporal sovereiglis, the exercise of judicial and legislative fonetions, in splritual affairs, the. doctrine of ' Church tenures, and the feudatory connection which is said to exist between the parson or vicar of a parish and the cesan of the district, all go upon this principle, and beer a strong and very visible analogy to the principles npott which the temporal sovereign exercised his rights, the doe: , trine of feudal tenures, and the 'rights and :privileges exists ing bet Ween the Lord and Iris vassal. As thetefOre, in England the sununoning of Parliaments and the, Opening of them in person, and the exercise of the tegislatiVe functions of the King, through the medium of a pepular, assembly, were always, from time *Memorial; part of the regal state end splendour of the British Crown, so, the- Archbishops of England, in like mariner, claimed the privilege of exercising similar rights in their respeetive dioceses, and hence arose the Convocation of the Clergy, the Legislatiie Assembly of the Church, and the authority front which all the Cations of the Anglican Church are said to flow. This EceleSiastical Synod or Convocation existed keg before the Reformation, and the rights and prerogai rives of the King, in, respect to it, were then much the same. as now, except, indeed, that the,power of assent and dissent to the canons passed by the Convocation, is now an avowed privilege of the Crown. This right was intro duced about the time of the Reformation, and in conse, • quence of the declaration that the King's Mtkjesty justly and rightly is, and ought to be, - supreme Head of the Church of England. • In this country there are two Convaeations, one for the Archiepiscopal See of Citittetbury, and the other for the Archiepiscopal See of York. The privileges of the King, in respect of these Convex cations are those of convening, proroguing, restraining, re• gulating, and dissolving, those an d ,a l l other Ecclesiastical Synods.: „ These Synods," says Mr. justice Blackstone, " in England, differ considerably in their coast a ittion flout the Synods of other Christian kingdoms, those consistinit wholly of Bishops; whereas, with us, the Convocation ti the miniature of the Parliament, wherein cads Archbishop presides With regal state; the upper House of Bishops re presents' the House of Lords, and the lower Hotise, COM• posed of the representatives of the several dioceses at large, and of each particular chapter therein, resembles the House of Commons with its Knights of the Shire and Burgesses. This constitution is said to he owing, to the policy of Edward I.y who thereby, at one and the seine time, let in the inferior clergy to the privilege of forming Ecclesiastical Canons (which :before they had not), 81;1 abut introdured a method of taxing ecclesiastical benefices by Consent of Convocations. The two Convocations are assembled by virtue of the King's Writs, directed to the 'two Archbishops, and it is homed before the meeting of every new Parliament. The two assemblies debate the same matters; but it appears clear that each is perfectly independent of the other and that there is no obligation to uniformity in this respect. All deans and archdeacons are memberaof the convoca tion of their province, each Chapter sends one Proctoror Representative, and the parochial clergy in each diocese in the province of Canterbury, two. tint in York, from the smallness of the see, each arehdeaeonry elects two proc: tors. The Convocation of York consists of one house only, but that of Canterbury of two. In the upper house sit the twenty-two hiihops; and previous to the Reforms tion, all priors and other mitred prelates, sat with them. The lower house consists of. twenty-two deans, fifty-three archdeacons, twenty-four proctors, for the chapters, and • forty-four for the parochial clergy., Besides the legislative power of making canons, the Convocation has it judicial authority in cases of appeals in which the king is a party. fn cononon cases such appeals would ha tt; the COMA. 4)I ' Delegates.

As they coup never asaetable but by thelong's writ, a they were teatimes commanded by like writ to deal with nothing that concerned the King's hays of the land, his .crown and dignity, his person, his state, his council, or king &Mt ; and in order fully to restrain them front outatepping the bounda of their authority, the King, not unfrequently nornimued commissioners by writ, to sit with them, and have cognizance of What they did. Since the reformation, the powers of the church in ConvoCatiOn awn:n . ll4o, have been greatly clipped, by vir:ne of the Act 25 Henry V 111. c, 19. By that. Act, it is expros6ly declared that such canons only already made, which were not repugnant to the law of the land,'or the king's prerogative, should be stecuted or deemed in force. Besides this powerful' restraint there is another, viz :---that no new canon can be entertained, except by licence from the crown, and even after that licence is ob faMed and the canon made, the King's assent is tuteassary to give it force. MoreetVer, even after such assent ob tained, it only binds the spirituality.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW . TIMES. Dover, Nov. 17, 1826. SIR-To countered the slanderous reports set forth in the .31orniny Herald - and Times, you will much oblige nie by in- Serting the annexed hitter and answer in the New Times at your very earliest eoavenienee. I beg to be, Sir, your's, most obediently, JOHN FINNIS. (COPY.) —TO SIR R. I3IRNIE. Dover, 16th Nov. 1826. Stu--The severe (and in my opinion, libelous) comments made iu the Morning Herold, of the 31st October, on the Ma gistracy of the Cinque Ports, arising from assertions said to have been made by you on the late, examination of some persons charged with the murder of en unfortunate individual at Dover, and other offences against the Revenue Laws, as well es a report in the Tinges of yesterday, of further remarks said also to have been made by you on the same subject, must have attracted the atten tion of most persons; •and if suffered to pass unanswered, _tend to cast altigma on the characters of several respectable individuals that but little deserve it. Having hail the honour to • hold the office of Chief Magistrate of this town, when the unfortunate outrage was committed, which ended in the ranch to be lamented murder of Quarter-master Mor gan, and having sat as Coroner on the inquest, I feel called on to ask, if you have any, and what, grounds to attach those remarks to the Illagiatrates of Dover? If not, I trust you will feel the justice of taking measures to counteract the foul slander thus so un warrantably raised against several of your fellow Magistrates.— For myself, I fearlessly challenge Sir It. Ilirnie, or any other in, dividual, to adduce onesolitary instance wherein I have been back ward in siding the execution of the laws for the support of the revenue; and assert, without fear of contradiction, that during the time I have acted as a Magistrate, I have, upon every occasion, to ' the' utmost of my power, rendered the most prompt attention thereto. , Requesting the favour of •an immediate reply, I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, Servant, To Sir R. Birnie, JNO. FINNIS. Public-Office, Bow-street, &v. &c. P.S. It is true that the old gaol at Dover was broken open some yeari ago, and some prisoners rescued; the facts relating to which were, at the time, fully reported to the proper authorities ; and had the conduct of the then Magistrates called for either re prehension or • punishment, there is no doubt but the Secretary of State would have taken the necessa►y steps to have done . so. Public Office, flow-utreet, Nov. 17, 1826. Slit- - 1 have this morning received yours of the 16th hut, and I don't hesitate to say, that I regret exceedingly that any observe. eke)* made. by me on the conttnitment of the prisoners, brought before me from the coast of Kent, charged with murder, and also offences against the revenue.laws, shmild have • given rise to the comments you so justly complain of in the Morning Herald.— Perhaps it is scarcely necessary for me to assure you that I have nothing to do with, or any controul over, any of the public Papers, and therefore 410 not consider myself in any way answer. able for the comments or observations they may make. .What fell from me arose out of the cue, and in reply to an observation made by the prisoner's Solicitor, and nothing was further from my mind than to give.pail, or impute misconduct to you personally, or to Any other respectable Ikfagistrate of the Claque Ports. The town of Dover was not alluded to by me. The fact was, that I believed the representations the officer made, and I only intended to impute blame to those whose conduct I conceived merited cert. With regard to the statements in the Times, it appears io me to be pot much stronger than my remarks warranted. My object was, that the officers, to get their warrants backed, should apply to a Gentleman who was in the conuniesionof the Peace for the county of Kent, As well as fur the jurisdiction of the (Inoue Ports, instead of applying to a. Justicie of tier latter jurisdiction only ; and I thought myself justified in doing so front the circum stances which had been represented to cue; but I again most die- sure. inctly disavow any intention to impute blame, to you personally, ,r misconduct to the Magistrates of the Cinque Ports generally. I have the honour to he, Sir, your obedient Servant, R. BIRNIE. THE CASPIAN SEA. The' Caspian is of all inland seas that which has been the sub ject of the most suppositions and conjectures. Strain) was per suaded that it communicated with the Northern Ocean by a nar row'arm ; and this opinion was still entertained in the time of • Justinian. This is the more extraordinary, as five hundred years beforit'Strabo, Herndon* bad given a tolerably correct &scrip, tine of it. Tin for year 1508, when the, t05,1411-trikvuuor JelikiWPWW ll4 %. vompanyillg a caravan of R u ssian merchants, went along the coast of the Caspian Sea, Its length was counnoidy supposed to be from east to west, and not from north to south, as it really is. Stritys, who visited it at a later period, gave in his map far too great a length to this sea, It has been supposed that the Caspian had long communicated with the Sea of Aroff; and it must be confessed, that an attentive examination of the intervening countries gives some probability to this opinion. Lastly, it has been pretended, and is still asserted, that there exists a subterraiwous communication between the Cas pian and the Persian Gulf ;• and in confirmation of this assertion, 'it is alleged, that every year, at the r commencement of winter, leaves and branches of trees unknown iu southern Purina, and which gtow only in (Milan and Maianderan, float on the shores of the Persian Gulf, at the part which is nearest to the Caspian.' Whatever truth there racy be in these conjectures, there is a feet equally curious and more certain. The Caspian Sea, which receives the waters of the Oural, 'of the Volga, and some other lass considerable rivers, not only experiences, like those rivers, an annual rise, but it is also subject to variations of depth which may be culled secular. _ . - At this time the Caspian Sea is subsiding, and the decrease of its waters is the more remarkable within these few years, as ves sels drawing IS feet of water could then navigate this sea; and new 'it will admit of none that draw above 15 feet at the most.--- A few years ago, the waves of the Caspian washed the walls of Baku ; at present they are at a considerable distance from it, and the consequence is, that the ships of war of the Russian Imperial Navy are no linger stationed in the Gulf of Baku, but in a tole rably convenient port of the isle Of Sara, which is 15 vents (It) miles) distant from it. ' This subsiding of the waters has uncovered first the top, and then the lower parts, of a vast Caravanserary, which is situated in the sea, at be distance of above two vents from the coast. Thus it appears, that al 'tome period, snore or less remote, the Caspian Sea Was . much lower 'towards the western coast than it is at the present moment, when it is observed to he subsiding. In support of this singular fact, I will add, that, according to the unanimous tradition of the country, people formerly went along the chore of the Ciapien from Lanklutra to Salian; and that the road, now partly covered by the waters of the sea, is no longer passable. The fall of the waters . has also left exposed tome new islands. One of these is several vents in extent. The soil of it is very firm ; 'and it is probable that in a few years it will be inhabited by fishermen, like all the other isles in the Caspian. During soy stay at Baku, my son awl my intepreter were so seriously attacked by a fever, that, to my great regret, I was un able to visit, in a fishing-boat of the Isle of Sara, the Caravan serary,left barchy, the waves, the new islands, and that where this stal4shing is carried On.—Literary Gazette.

HOUSE OF LORDS.--(THIS DAY.) ;Jpon our admission into the House of Lords, we observed the benches on which the Peers, usually take their seats tilled with Peeresses, and other ladiei of, distinction connected with the Court. The railing which usually surrounds the Chair had been removed, and the Chair. brought forward several feet. At one O'clock , the LORD CHI:NCILLLOR took his seat, and prayers were read by the Lord Bishop of Llaudaff. Shortly after the Peers began to arrive, attired in their robes, and decked with the insignia of the several orders of which they were members. Their Lordships, the Judges, were ranged on benches, immedi ately below the Woolsack, and round the table.

I have directed a Copy of the Order in Council, issued on that occasion, to be laid before you, and I confidently trust that you will see sufficient reason for, giving your sanction to the provisions of that Order, and for carrying them into effect. I have great satisfaction in being able to inform you that the hopes entertained at the clone of the last Session of Parliament respecting the terniinatitin of the war in the Burmese territories have been fulfilled,and that a peace has been concluded in that quar ter highly honourable to the British arms and the Councils of the British Government in India. I continue to receivo from all Foreign Powers assurances of their earnest desire to cultivate the relations of peace and friendly under standing with me. lAM exerting myself with unremitting anxiety, either singly, or in conjunction, with my Allies, as well to arrest the proogres► of existing hostilities, ae to pi:event the interruption of Peace, in different parts of the world. GaNTLXIIIIN OF THR.ITOUSY. or COMMONS, I have directed the Estimates of the ensuing year to be pre. pared, and they will in due time be laid before you. I will take care that they shall be formed with as much atten tion to economy as the exigencies of tile Public service will permit. The Distress which has pervaded the Conunercial sad Manu facturing Classes of my Subjects during the last twelve months, has affected some important Branches of the Revenue; but I have the satisfaction of informing you, that there has been no *rich diminution in the internal consumption of the Country, as to ex cite any apprehensions that the area • t *unreels of our wealth and prfoperity have been impaired.

Taken altogether, the pageant was the most splendid and impos ing which l►as , been witnessed in this country since his MAJESTY'S coronation. We received last night the Paris Papers of Satur day, and the Etoile, dated Sunday morning. The latter contains accounts from,Constantinople down to the 27th October, from which it appears that fresh disturbances had , broken out in that capital, which, however, had been suppressed by the Zetermined mea sures of the SULTAN, who had traced the origin of these commotions to the remnant of the Janissaries, of whom »timbers had beet banished, strangled, and drowned publicly. ' Though tranquillity was appa sently restored, the capital was in a state of suppressed fermentation. The .toile furnishes also intelligence from Lisbon to the Bth instant, but it contains . nothing more than we gave yesterday from the Lisbon Gazettes. The . proceedings against OUVRARD have tenni- Hated in the acquittal of himself and all those who Were accused with him, except • MAULEON and BERGE, who 'are sentenced to six months' imprison ment, and a fine of 300 f. We trust that this affair, which has been so long before the publi'c, is at last at an. end. The French Funds again Advanced on Saturday. We subjoin a few extracts : (From the Etoile.) . Onvssa, Nov. 2.—According to . the recent news of the 27th October, Constantinople has again beceine the ' theatre of great commotions ; although the Sultan his employed fur the momen tary restablishment of tranquillity his wonted heroic 'method, that is to say decapitation, this new commotion would appear to indi cate that be is yet far from his purpose. The fermentation of mind created by the humiliating part which the Reis Effendi and the Divan have been obliged to act in the late negotiations, in creases, if we may believe the last news, rather than dittinishes, and induces us to fear new scenes of revolution. In the•mean while, the El-Meidan has become the field of death for many a Mahometan, the devoted adherents of Islamism, and their, heads have been sacrificed to a new system, which has not hitherto been easily accommodated to a religion of the country. A great.num ber of people think, that if the Porte has been obliged at the,late crisis, to bow to the necessity of its circumstances, it did so only from fear of the present down-fallen party of the Janissaries. :. BucxAaawr, OCT. 28.—A Tartar, who arrived here in five days, front Constantinople, has brought the official intelligence that the Sultan has discovered a new plot among the Janissaries, and that, in consequence, the banishments, stranglings, and: drownings which were formerly carried on, in secret, now took place publicly. Although order bad been apparently restored, the capital was still in a state of fermentation. 'SEMIN,Nov. s.—The reports ofexecutiona at Constantinople follow one another to Belgrade, in quick succession. To-day not only the Reis Effendi, but the Aga Pacha, is reported as be headed ; independent of a great number of Uletuas, who have been burned, and a number of other Turks drowned. Whatever be the real state of the case, the Greeks cannot forget the report which at first appeared without any foundation,. of the execution of the Greek Interpreter, Maurousi, she concluded the Treaty of Bucharest, in 1812 ; and they rejoice that the Sultan, either from inclination or necessity, in venting his anger on account of the Convention of Akermaun, has let it fall on those of the same religion as himhelf, who, on this occasion, alone conducted the negotiation. - - - - ` YASSY, OCT. 30.—A kallarasch, dispatched from Constanti nople to our Hospodar, arrived the day before yesterday, and broUght intelligence that the Kiaja Bey of the Turkish Commis sinners at Akermann, the same who carried to Constantinople the Convention signed by the latter, isiay be expected, here very soon with the ratification of the Grand Seignor. P*nts, Nov. 18.—The Sixth Chamber of Correctional Police this slay pronounced iittlEttnent in the affair of the Sieur Ouvrard, and of thou accused pious with liirn—llueroo, Espariat, Poisson pier, and Ouvrad have been acquitted; Mauleon and Berge are condemned to six mouths' iniprisonlnent, and to a fine of 300 f."

Prrtassvnuu, Nov. 4,-114 Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael arrived here, on the.3lst of October, in perfect health. The Journal of St. Petersbargh of to-day contains the follow ing article under the head of " News from the Army in Georgia, of 30th September" (Oct. 12) After Abbas Mina had suf fered a total defeat on the ISth (26th) Sept., near Elizabithpol, he left the Russian territory, raised the blockade of the fortress of Schascha, and on the 18th (SOth), retreated over the Araxes. After our victory of the 12th (25th), the • enemy fled with such precipitation, that Lieut.-General Prince Madatow found it im possible to overtake him. A part of the Persian cavalry has fol lowed Abbas Mina over the Araxes ; .the infantry has dispersed and fled into the mountains, and wasendeavouring, with all speed, to reach the Persian frontier. Adjutant-General Paskewitsch has received orders to leave some troops in' Scherwan, in order to drive out the Persians who have remained thek as well as on the south of Daghastan. On the 21st of September (3d Oct.), Gen. Davidow, who summands towards Erivan, attacked the enemy commanded by Hassan Khan, brother of the Sardar of that pro vhiee. The Persians were totally routed, and General Davidow, after having canted them great loss, pursued them, to the little town Of Sudashent, two short days' journey from Erivan, where the Sardar has shut himself up, without affording the smallest as sistance to his brother. The son of the former Khan of Elixa bethpol, Zgurgla Khan, who has been taken prisoner,, has declared that in the battle of the 12th (25th), the army of Abbas Mina consisted of 24 battalions; each consisting of 800 to 1,000 men, '24 cannon, 12,000 cavalry, and 8,000 troops of various descrip tions. The head4luarters of General Paskewitech were at Ken dolan, not far•from Schaicha, and those of General Yermaloff at Hassan See, in the district of Scliamshatlil. Abbas Mirza has re passed the Araxes, at Aslangas. According to the latest accounts, he was, on the 20th September (2d October), at Mahn', to the lift of the Aslangas, in the vicinity of the mountains, and the Schap of Persia himself at Agar."

It i s stated that the Dutch troop s b a d b een d e f ea ted in in en gagement with the natives in the eastern part of the island, and sustained a considerable loss. Since the restitution of this valuable island to Holland, it has been in one incessant, state of disturbance : and the native population seem to have suffered as much from the restitution of their country to the Govern ment of the Dutch, as the commercial interests of this country were injured by that unfortunate measure: A Manifesto, dated Bogota, 12th July, has been issued by the Executive Government of Colombia, the object of which is to detail all the circumstances connected with the revolt of PAEZ, " who has violated his oath and his duty in the most scandalous manner•" We have not 'space to-day to give any part of this Manifesto ; it is very long, and ends by declaring that PAEz has violated every article of the Constitution, which has for its object the maintenance of 'order, tranquillity, and good government, and that by his conduct the social compact has been torn, and the Constitution trampled under foot.
